  • Implement and enhance high-availability and migration capabilities, including vMotion, Storage vMotion, Live Migration, and Storage Live Migration.

  • Collaborate with cybersecurity teams to ensure compliance in mixed IT/OT environments.

  • Develop and execute a phased virtualization modernization roadmap, including VMware-to-Hyper-V migrations or integrated multi-platform strategies.

  • Provide technical leadership, oversee vendors, monitor KPIs, and drive continuous improvement of virtualization service delivery.

Who You Are

  • 4+ years of hands-on experience supporting and delivering virtualization services across VMware and/or Hyper-V platforms.

  • Strong expertise with VMware: vSphere, ESXi, vCenter, vSAN, HA/DRS, vMotion.

  • Strong expertise with Microsoft Hyper-V: Hyper-V role deployment, SCVMM, Windows Admin Center, Failover Clustering (WSFC), and S2D.

  • Experience with VMware to Hyper-V migrations, VM conversions, or hybrid coexistence.

  • Proficiency in PowerShell for automation, orchestration, and troubleshooting.

  • Solid knowledge of Windows Server, Active Directory, and virtualization-related security practices in IT and OT environments.

  • Familiarity with backup/DR, failover testing, and availability planning on both platforms.
